I have been Poppy Bank client for # of years. They advertise locally as a business bank, altho my savings & checking accounts are personal. My savings has been .5%, but when I went in to branch last week & asked if they were going to raise it- they did. It's now 1%.
Not sure if based on balance, but worth research, especially for those in area of branches.
I see comments about poor phone & online service. Branch service has always been A+. No problems with my online or app, altho they did lower max mobile deposits recently.
there's always a reason a Podunk bank offers an above average rate. The opening process for an account is tedious with Poppy asking for far more personal info than necessary and required by gov't regs. Just tried to open a second cd and got so frustrated I took my business elsewhere.
I called them 3 times and got no reply. You'd think they would at least call back and say they don't want to use our money. I even e mailed and got no reply.
After approval process, verifying trial deposits and $ withdrawn from external bank, the bank cancelled my CD and redeposited the funds. No calls / no emails. Apparently bank overwhelmed and mgmt cancelled the online CD applications as of 12/30.
